Intro -Family Fixer-Uppers

For over a 28 years my wife and I have had a blended family and taken in 17 At-risk kids from difficult situations. Abuse. Addiction. Rejection. Identity struggles. Some just drifting.

Most families do not collapse overnight. They drift. Discipline becomes inconsistent. Disrespect goes unchecked. Guilt replaces authority. Screen time replaces structure.

I did not grow up in stability myself. I grew up in chaos and unclear boundaries. A lot of what shaped me was learning what not to do.

What I have seen consistently is this. When discipline is sporadic, when parents chase friendship, and when boundaries are unclear, anxiety rises and respect erodes. When the home becomes predictable, authority is calm, and love is steady, something shifts. The walls come down. Comfort increases. Guard lowers. Identity forms.

We focus on prevention and intervention around what’s call the five black holes of teenager-hood.

Suicide. Felony. Drugs. Alcohol. Sexual risk. If you can help them see the holes they will have a chance at navigating those obstacles.

Not theory. Just lived experience turned into structure.

My passion is helping kids gain their voice and launch into adulting successfully.

I look forward to connecting.
